So come, let us worship; bow before him, on your knees before God, who made us!
Psalm 95:6, The Message
"Worship does not satisfy our hunger for God -- it whets our appetite. Our need for God is not taken care of by engaging in worship -- it deepens. It overflows the hour and permeates the week. The need is expressed in a desire for peace and security. Our everyday needs are changed by the act of worship. We are no longer living from hand to mouth, greedily scrambling through the human rat race to make the best we can out of a mean existence. Our basic needs suddenly become worthy of the dignity of creatures made in the image of God."
